Category: By the bug

KONK PACK is a hardcore trio made up of world class improvisers Tim Hodgkinson (Henry Cow, The Work, God, etc.), Thomas Lehn (Music In Movement Electronic Orchestra, and has also worked with Eugene Chadbourne, the Klangräumer, Paul Lovens, Shabotinski, Radu Malfatti, Gerry Hemingway, Günter Christmann, Evan Parker, etc. - "probably the world's best synthesizer player", Jim O'Rourke) and Roger Turner (who has worked with John Russell, Hugh Davies, Alan Silva, Phil Minton, John Butcher, Comforts of Madness, Steve Beresford, Evan Parker, Derek Bailey, Cecil Taylor, etc.).
The sensitivity of British Improvised Music, represented via the crackling and snapping of the electronics (Lehn), the howling and roaring of reed and a table top guitar (Hodgkinson) and the rattling and rustling of the percussion (Turner) are melded with a trashy, overloaded attitude. Nasty! A heavy rocking swing echoes out of loose noise conglomerations. And when we say rock, we mean it.
KONK PACK is a working band that herewith presents their debut album, Big Deep.
